Bruce and his wife slept in a little room immediately behind the shop, that they might watch over their treasures; and Bruce's first movement in the morning was always into the shop to unbolt the door and take down the shutters. His astonishment when he looked upon a blank wall of snow may be imagined. He did not question that the whole town was similarly overwhelmed.
He wrenched frantically at the handle and addressed me with strange and unseemly epithets. I repeated the manoeuvre of pretending to unbolt the door, and smiled as I heard him literally dancing with frenzy inside. It seemed highly amusing at the time, though now, viewed retrospectively, it looks merely silly. "Quite suddenly his efforts ceased and I heard him shuffle away.
Barbara sitting quietly beside me, we heard them talking at the back of the machine, as the jack quickly lifted us and Worth went to it with Capehart to unbolt the rim; a low-toned steady stream from the wide man, punctuated now and then by a word from Worth. "Yeh," Capehart grunted, prying off the tire. "Heard it m'self 'bout noon or a little after. Yeh, Ward's Undertaking Parlors."
"Father," she said; "it is I." He was angry that she should have dared to unbolt the door, or to withdraw the bars. What was she, that she should be trusted to open or to close the house? And there came upon him some idea of wanton and improper conduct. Why was she there at that hour? Must it be that he should put her again from the shelter of his roof?
"You in that room!" she called, "unbolt that door and come out, or it will be the worse for you. I'll count ten and then order the door burst open." She began to count. She heard the bolt shot back. She nodded to Guntello. He gave the door a push. Before them stood Calvaster, his attitude and countenance expressing cringing cowardice, cloaked by ill-assumed effrontery.
"Yes, it did. I turned the knob afterward to make sure. I always do that." Ferdinand now seemed to be as discursive as he was reticent before. "And I know Miss Eunice's Mrs, Embury's door was locked, because she had to unbolt it before I could get in this morning." "But look here," Driscoll broke in, "are these doors on that snap-bolt all day? Isn't that rather an inconvenience?"
It's jest 'bout big enough to let a boy through." "Well?" asked Glen, beginning to feel that it wasn't well at all, and that this plan Mr. Jervice was unfolding had to do with a very different treasure than he had supposed. "Jest imagine you've been dropped through that winder an' landed on the floor. You've got to go f'm there to the front an' unbolt the door.
A blind-cord creaked, a window went up over a ship-chandler's shop next door, and a man thrust out his head. "What's wrong?" he demanded. "Sorry to disturb ye, Clemow; but old Rodriguez, here, bespoke us to sweep his chimneys at five, and we can't get admittance." "Why, I heard him unbolt for ye an hour ago!" said the ship-chandler. "He woke me up with his noise, letting down the chain."
One of the shutters was ajar, admitting a few gleams of light, by which she could see to unbolt the door. She was out in the air at last; the first step was taken in safety in her turn she flew towards the cypress tree.
"The baron trotted briskly toward the kennels, from whence there was now issuing a truly infernal clangor, and, as my steed followed suit of his own accord, I could see how he proceeded dexterously to unbolt the gates without dismounting, while the beasts within dashed themselves against them and tore the ground in their fury of impatience.
